Custom Controller (Control Plane) Implementation

Description

Design and implement a custom controller (control plane) for Franzoxide to manage connector lifecycle, configuration, and scaling in a distributed environment. This will provide centralized management for connectors running across multiple nodes.

Tasks

• Design the control plane architecture with clear separation of concerns
• Implement connector configuration management and validation
• Add support for dynamic configuration updates without restarts
• Implement connector lifecycle management (start, stop, pause, resume)
• Add monitoring and metrics collection for connectors
• Implement leader election for high availability
• Add REST API for external management
• Implement configuration persistence and recovery
• Design and implement connector worker assignment strategies

Technical Details

• Use a distributed consensus algorithm for coordination
• Implement efficient state management with minimal overhead
• Support Kubernetes-native deployment model
• Add comprehensive tests for distributed scenarios
• Ensure proper error handling and recovery mechanisms

Acceptance Criteria

• Controller can manage connectors across multiple nodes
• Configuration changes are applied correctly and atomically
• High availability is maintained during node failures
• Performance impact is minimal
• All tests pass including failure scenarios
• Documentation is complete and accurate
